The paper uses a computational model to test how opioids affect synaptic excitability in medullary and pontine networks, suggesting selective synaptic actions may explain breathing mechanics changes in opioid-induced respiratory depression.

The paper investigates how hypoxia triggers gasping through neural network reconfiguration in the brainstem, showing disinhibition and coordinated activity in respiratory circuits.

This study investigates codeine's effects on swallowing in anesthetized cats, finding both central and peripheral mechanisms contributing to dysregulated swallowing.
